Physcia dubia

(Hoffm.) Letter

Similar to Physcia tenella but without cilia and usually not found on wood. It grows on non-calcareous, nutrient-rich substrates, including man-made structures like brickwork and asphalt. Uncommon in south Wales but perhaps under recorded and possibly increasing as a result of nitrogen enrichment.
